In the Argonne campaign the author recalls massive artillery mobilization and grim trench warfare. The crown prince visits Dun sur Meuse and troops endure storms of shellfire, handtohand fighting, and extreme conditions.
In the Argonne the daily toll toughens morale as soldiers carry on to support families. Crown Prince and General von Mudra are blamed for heavy losses while von Haeseler, once feared, visits behind front lines. Officers praise the prince for urging advance despite thousands of lives lost.
Soldiers march to an unknown destination and wait at a destroyed Apremont depot. Prisoners visit families five months apart as shells fly overhead. A wounded husband reunites briefly with his wife and children, while fear and uncertainty fill the air. To be continued.
A small boy at a garden gate cries because his parents will not take him to the pictures. An old lady asks why he yells and learns that his parents sometimes do and sometimes do not heed his pleas.
A cryptic log links sleeping, bedtime chickens, a boy who can run with a deer, a farmer’s horse, a pirate casualty dog, and a house eaten from. The piece evokes rural scenes and animal figures through brief evocative lines.
A facetious man asks if satisfaction comes from watching a thermometer read 99 degrees in the shade. The crusty reply says little joy, but hopes others won’t remind him of the heat while he stands and stares.
A playful deduction notes that 14 000 oysters fill a ton and then frames a mathematical riddle that a boarding house stew must be one fourteenth thousandth of a ten. The lines invoke arithmetic whimsy and punny proportional reasoning.
The piece riffes on tall figures Samson and Gollar with Ananias noted as tallest. Rankin Beanbrough and Phyle dispute courteous behavior while Rankin cites a car accident teeth break during a risky moment after a "thank you ma'am" gesture.
An entertainment snippet features Mr Meekton asking to invite a friend for dinner and his wife curious about motive. The exchange moves through humor about simple versus elaborate menus, a child's brightness, and quips comparing spending to the aviation board. A memory gag, a Bible watch reference, and scattered toasts close the segment.
